Furniture Shipping Cost from La Paz to Bogota

Ocean freight shipping Ocean shipping is a great option for bulkier shipments since it offers much more space than air for a lower price. Depending on how large your shipments are, and how frequently you ship, you can choose either LCL (less than a container load) or FCL (full container load).

Sending a package to Colombia costs anywhere from under $20 for small items via services like USPS First-Class, to $60-$100+ for heavier boxes, depending on speed (days vs. weeks) and carrier (USPS, DHL, FedEx, UPS), with lighter packages (3-5 lbs) often costing $20-$70, while larger/faster shipments can hit $100-$300+, so check online calculators for exact rates.

Shipping furniture overseas is often not worth it unless pieces are high-quality, expensive, or deeply sentimental, as costs (thousands of dollars) usually outweigh the benefit, especially when good, affordable local options exist and appliances/electronics rarely work due to power/signal issues, making selling and buying new often the better, fresher start. Weigh the high cost of shipping (potentially $3,000-$10,000+) against replacement costs and the emotional value, factoring in the destination's climate and local furniture availability.
